We hiked to the top of Vernal Falls and the base of Nevada Falls. After hiking up the mountain, you then climbed 600 steps that were flattened rocks, slippery from years of use and mist from the waterfall and lined with a sheer cliff to the roaring river below.
Awesome.
Vernal Falls in the distance
Dad doing good on the climb up
Sean on the rock steps, see the incline?
Rainbow from about halfway up the hike
Another pretty rainbow caused by the mist, at this point, we were soaking wet from the "mist"
Top of Vernal Falls, this is what you go through before you reach...
...this! Vernal Falls!
Falls, river, rocks and rainbow
Hmm, fake smile #1.(Please note the soaking wetness, Jena had a hood, I did not)
Kinda fake smile #2. I think its time for more Mom-packed lunches and snacks
So pretty
Up to the base of Nevada Falls we stopped to take a dip in the stream
Just kidding! I mean, I am a good swimmer but I am pretty sure that the 54 degree river would win.
Nevada Falls!
